I'm a thin, flat chest woman. It is said that I should have teardrop implant so that the breast has natural look. Should teardrop breast implant be placed by armpit incision or infra-mammary incision?

Answer: Inframammary Incision Hello,The IM incision is the right incision for all implants, not just shaped. Bacterial contamination of breast implants is the cause of the most common complication of breast augmentation, capsular contracture, and is probably the cause of the least common complication, BIA-ALCL. IM incisions help to reduce the risk of implant contamination, and is necessary for shaped implant placement. Best of luck!

Answer: Teardrop implants it is difficult to orient teardrop implants accurately through a transaxillsry incision. I’m not a fan of teardrop implants overall. There was recently a study in which plastic surgeons tried to guess if other surgeons patients had found or teardrop implants, including being able to feel them. They couldn’t tell which was which!

Answer: Insertion of Tear Drop or Anatomical Breast Implants Placing an anatomical or tear drop implant through an infra-mammary incision is often better to insure correct orientation of the implant. These implants are textured and proper orientation is important.
